I remember this shocking murder and, from the start, it did seem that it must have been a professional hitman. To stealthily come up behind a woman at her door, shoot her in the head then disappear without a sound isn't something, surely, that a "normal" person could do.
The big question for me is still this - how did the killer know Jill would be at her house that very morning when apparently she was mainly living with her fiancé?
Barry George was clearly a weirdo and lived in a disgusting, filthy place that no sane person could tolerate but would he be capable of such a professional-style hit? I was very surprised at how well-spoken and attractive his sister is too - yet she was never asked about why he was living in such squalor, nor about his previous convictions.
The ex-con's statement that he knows who did it but can't say for fear of his life - but it would surprise people - was frustratingly not pursued in any way.
Finally - as seems to be the fashion lately in documentary-making - did we really need so many "reaction" head shots of the participants (particularly Hamish Campbell) staring pensively into middle distance?
